Boring.
The story suffers from a lack of stakes, shallow character development, and a predictable story. There are no challenges, meaningful relationships, or any type of side content, this manhwa offers little beyond repetitive power fantasy tropes.

The MC consistently wins every conflict without any real sense of struggle or stakes. Each new enemy is hyped up as incredibly strong and dangerous, yet the MC defeats them effortlessly every time. Since the beginning of the story, there has not been a single time the MC has lost.

Each new technique he gets is hidden in absurdly elaborate ways, as if designed exclusively for the MC to find them. ... Thanks to his overpowered "nano-machines," has no problems getting them, removing any sense of accomplishment.
Also, he sometimes goes as far as destroying the sources of these techniques, as if someone else could learn about them. The problem is that no one else ever seems remotely capable of uncovering or mastering them anyway. This makes the world feel devoid of competition or tension.

There's never really any challenge for the MC. Any problem can be conveniently solved by the nano-machines, and when he encounters a new enemy he's conveniently always at just the right power level for him to defeat them.
Sure, they can show him struggling a little but it's clear after the first few times that he's never in any danger.
When an enemy makes a plan to defeat him, the MC somehow anticipates and counters it flawlessly, with absolutely no foreshadowing. Instead, the just show a flashback of secret preparations, expecting you to accept that he predicted everything perfectly.

Relationships within the story are shallow and underdeveloped. While the MC has followers and even has the loyalty of high-ranking elders, there is little sense that he has genuinely earned this loyalty. The story skips over interactions that might show meaningful connections, conflicts, or character growth. He just shows up, beats someone and suddenly everyone trusts him and devotes their life to him.

All of his followers with him are spineless and soul-less characters that don't have any kind of personal motives.
They never challenge him or disagree, making them feel spineless and devoid of individuality. Their entire personality is being loyal to the MC.

The MC himself is a flat character. He gets angry a few times at the start but after some days in isolation confinement he magically matures and never shows any flaws again. The only time he feels positive emotions is when he gets a new technique and (only sometimes) gains a new follower. As for the negative emotions he only shows hatred toward those responsible for his mother’s death.

It's a classic OP MC power fantasy story, and it's not a problem by itself but it's not executed well. Since the MC has no hardships everything he does is boring. Normally this is balanced by interesting side characters and/or comedy but it has neither of those.
The side characters receiving minimal development, they are never shown training or living their life and barely shown interacting with each other. Almost every conversation they have is about the MC.
There are no side plots, just him and his revenge which goes as smoothly as it can get.

The thing that finally made me drop this is when he finally defeats his father. With the help of only a small group, the MC dismantles his father’s elaborate plans with no credible explanation of how he could have known every move in advance. Then, a hidden organization appears, revealed to have been operating in the shadows all along. However, this group had virtually no buildup in the prior 130 chapters, save for a vague hint about the use of the demonic reversal technique. Their sudden introduction feels random and forced, resulting in a chaotic climax where the MC predictably triumphs without significant effort.

The only refreshing thing is that he has no problems killing/maiming or torturing others.
